Appalling breakfast
Breakfast is appalling. Quality of food offering is unacceptable. Hot foods were cold, runny yogurts, croissants half baked, juices diluted, cold meats cut into rationed sizes, overall hardly anything was eaten. Patrons leave half eaten plates everywhere. I never had such an awful experience with breakfast before.
